Conner's Big Day

When Conner was almost 3, he decided to ask Jesus into his heart.  We were reading the Easter story one night and he was asking some brilliant questions about why Jesus died on the cross and why that was important to us.  I was answering the questions as best as I could so that he could understand and I explained that we all do things that are naughty but Jesus saves us from those things so we can be with God in heaven some day.  He said he wanted to be in heaven with God and so he prayed to accept Jesus as his savior that day.

Conner has always remembered that he has made that decision and so Sunday January 16th, 2011 is the day Conner was baptized!  This was actually a very big accomplishment for my son who doesn't like to have his head wet in any capacity.  He went before the church and hopped in the little baptismal pool to be dunked backwards.  As he went down, his skinny little foot shot up into the air (the whole church erupted in laughter) and when he came back up he was absolutely glowing!!

During the next hour in Sunday school Conner also managed to lose a tooth!
